It’s been more than three weeks since mid-day reported how potholes in western suburbs were giving road users a rough ride, and little has changed.

Only one road in Santacruz, which was one among the rutted four we had focused on, has been evened out; the others hang on to their potholes. In fact, rather than alleviation, expect an aggravation of the problem on some of the city’s arterial routes, as the BMC has started replacing pipelines.
